The 3 Percent Choice is about you making a decision to be one of the 3% in America who lead a healthy lifestyle. It is about you making a choice that will impact not only yourself, but your family and future generations too. It is about you choosing to take control of your health and lifestyle. Our philosophy is that taking a proactive choice now toward preventing future disease is the best medicine. It connects people who have made the same decision and helps keep you on the right path with contiunued reminders of your commitment and ideas and success stories from others in the community.
What the 3 Percent Choice is not
The 3 Percent Choice is not about perfection. Life is too short not have donut again. The key is to remember that it is an apple a day not a Krispy Kreme a day that keeps the doctor away. To deny yourself consistently is the path to feeling guilty when you do partake in a sweet. I say thank God for Thin Mint Girl Scout Cookies – love ‘em after the proper time in the freezer. I love to have a beer once in awhile, just not a six pack a day. Why do people drink lite beers? How many are you drinking where you are saving many calories to make a difference? Have a real beer! The 3 Percent Choice must be a decision you own and live. Relying just on self-discipline to succeed will seldom be effective.
Anyone can join The 3 Percent Choice
All that's needed to join the 3 Percent Choice is a valid email address. You can sign up for yourself or make the commitment for your entire family. You do not have to live in America of course. You can live anywhere and make the commitment.
Change your choices and change your life
You must first own that you are the way you are now because of the choices you have made in the past. Being one of the 3 percent who lead a healthy lifestyle may require you to make extremely different choices than you have made in the past. A gradual change in lifestyle takes too long to show any results. Taking baby steps will lead to results that will disappoint you.
The brutal facts are this - Smoking is a choice. Being overweight is a choice. Being out of shape is a choice. If your kids are overweight it is your fault as a parent. Eating a big entrée, big desert and a small salad is a choice. Hanging around people who do all of the above is a choice. Do a quick search for - Are Your Friends Making You Fat? The answer is yes. Your friends, siblings, spouse can greatly influence your lifestyle and choices. Not just fat, but also keep you doing anything else that is not good for you.
Don’t Keep it private
At the 3 Percent Choice, we believe in the power of public commitment. Making a public declaration that you are now one of the 3% who lead a healthy lifestyle is an important step. Our goal is to help you stick with it and live this way for the rest of your life.
